I know I say every friday that today's craft is so easy to do.
Well my friends, this one is really easy.
And the best thing of all, is that it looks so hard.
So your friends will think you are so Martha.
All you need is two old doilies, rubber bands, needle and thread and some old velvet leafs.
Doilies and leafs are plentiful at any flee-market.
So, start with doilie one and roll it into a cone.
Secure with rubber band.
Roll doilie two around doilie one so that you have a bigger cone.
Secure with rubber band again.
With needle and thread sew the two doilies together.
Sew on the velvet leaf.
Pin the rose on your dress, hair, jacket, bag and you are ready to boogie.

I love this. It looks gorgeous, delicate and very vintage in a good way! I'm not sure my friends know who Martha is though (they're more into classical music). This will definitely make us ready to boogie - it would also go very well with Argentine tango dancing.
